Re: [PATCH RESEND v6 4/9] pmem,mm: Implement ->memory_failure in pmem driver

With dax_holder notify support, we are able to notify the memory failure
from pmem driver to upper layers.  If there is something not support in
the notify routine, memory_failure will fall back to the generic hanlder.
How about:

"Any layer can return -EOPNOTSUPP to force memory_failure() to fall
back to its generic implementation."

I do not understand the usage of page_size() here? memory_failure()
assumes PAGE_SIZE pages. DAX pages also do not populate the compound
metadata yet, but even if they did I would expect memory_failure() to
be responsible for doing something like:

    pgmap->ops->memory_failure(pgmap, pfn, size >> PAGE_SHIFT, flags);

...where @size is calculated from dev_pagemap_mapping_shift().
+                                        &flags);
Why is the local flags variable passed by reference? At a minimum the
memory_failure() flags should be translated to a new set dax-notify
flags, because memory_failure() will not be the only user of this
notification interface. See NVDIMM_REVALIDATE_POISON, and the
discussion Dave and I had about using this notification to signal
unsafe hot-removal of a memory device.
